THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Paid circulation leader *Winner of22 state and national awards forjournalism excellence in 2006 77th Year, Vol1. 34 Thursday, December 14, 2006 Macclenny, Florida so5 Dies after a collision with car at wreck scene A Sanderson man became Baker County's twelfth traffic fatality of 2006 when his pickup struck the rear of a sedan stopped on SR 125 north of Glen St. Mary the morning of December 6 at the scene of an earlier accident invol\ ing a county deputy. Gene Rowe, 65, died about 5:00 that afternoon at Shands Jacksonville, x\here he was air- lifted 'follow ing the accident about 7:30,, more than one hour after the first accident. Sgt. Thomas Stebbins of the Florida Highi\aN Patrol said Mr. Rowe's southbound 1994 Toyota struck the rear of a 2003 Ford driven by Marn Wilson. 54. of Glen. Ms. Wilson received mi- nor injuries. Her vehicle and others were stopped in the southbound lane about three miles north of Glen near the scene of the earlier acci- dent involving Deputy Erik De- loach of Macclenn), whose 2006 Ford cruiser crossed the center- line of CR 125 w while southbound about 6:00. Itsleft front struck the left front of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro driven northbound by Edward Force, 21, of Glen. When police arrived on the scene of the first accident, they found the carcass of a deer pushed under the Chevrolet, which had spun counter-clockx% ise on the pavement and slid onto the east shoulder. Mr. Force told the high- way patrol he had earlier struck a deer and tied it to the hood of the Camaro with rope. He was not seriously injured. Deputy Deloach, who had one at-fault accident on record since he joined the Baker County sheriff's department in February, 2005, was treated at Fraser Hos- pital for a small head laceration. Sgt. Stebbins said the south- bound deputy cruiser drifted into the northbound lane and contin- ued in a straight line after the collision, also ending up on the east shoulder. It was dark at the time. FHP sent out a request for/ witness statements attempting to piece together events leading up to the initial crash, including whether the deer carcass may have draped over the front of the Chevrolet sufficiently to obstruct headlights. One witness who is acquainted w ith Mr. Force said the Che\ rolet had only one working headlight and he saw% the deer on the hood about ten minutes prior to the ac- cident. Mr. Force told police he was tra eling with high beams "when the collision occurred. Another wimess told the sheriff's department he observed Deputy Deloach speeding, but FHP apparently discounted that report because the estimated speed of both vehicles was put at 50 mph. The limit in that area is 55. Inm estigators with FHP "ere also looking into the possibil- it) that a bright rising sun may have impaired Mr. Rowe's over- all vision as he approached the stopped traffic. Lt. Gerald Gonzalez con- firmed this. week the deputy was involved in a less serious acci-. dent about a year ago when his cruiser struck the rear of another vehicle on US 90 just east of CR 125 in Glen. A written repriniand was placed in his personnel file. as per the department policy. If he is found by FHP at fault in last week's accident, he faces another reprimand and suspen- sion without pay based on the circumstances. Third offenses are treated more harshly, ranging from suspension to termination. Sgt. Stebbins placed damage to. the police car at $22,000; to, the Chevrolet $900. With three, weeks remaining in 2006, Mr. Row e's death brings the total road fatalities so far up to three more than in 2005.

Whenever she can, she uses her conservation training to clean and care for their tombstones. Ms. Rosenblatt, of Glen St. Mary, is an active member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the co- founder and current president of Gravely Hill Friends, Inc., an organization affiliated with the Jacksonville Department of Parks and Recreation. In both capacities she is involved with researching, documenting and preserving area history, especially through the care and reclamation of cemeteries where veterans from the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Vietnam and Korean Wars are buried. "I did a lot of research work for the names engraved on the monument in Heritage Park which required visits to many cemeteries in the county," she Roun~d tabledsifs, Lj u-m .on i ro i/priotitteS i,.

Mr. Preston .presided over. the. session covering She major growth topics: utilities, transportation, the ^i_: communityy devel- opment district con- cept, DRI develop- ment orders and growth strategy. Mr. Cone did the major- ity of the briefing. Bouncing off the county's recent de- cision to withhold a DRI (declaration of regional impact) ap- plication for a 7000 unit residential and mixed use development northwest of Glen St. Mary, the officials described it as a means of telling large- scale developers how the county wants to grow. ' "The big thing is you have to have some kind of vision. If you want low-income hous- ing, we can do that with $80,000 homes or mobile homes with septic tanks," said Mr. Cone, also a. recent hire as county manager.

PHOTO BY KELLEY LANNIGAN says. "Often to read the stones, I needed to clean them." She learned the approved cleaning methods by attending numerous workshops conducted by organizations such as The Chicora Foundation. Chicora is a heritage and preservation society whose projects include archeological and historic research throughout the southeastern United States. It's not unusual to see Ms. Rosenblatt in a Baker County cemetery with her bucket of materials and gallon jugs of filtered water nearby, as she carefully wraps and soaks a tial DRI request because there was no set-aside provision to help attract high-paying jobs to Baker County to coincide %with the "rooftops." It looks like the (See page 13) grave marker in preparation for cleaning. "I can't go into a cemetery now and see a veteran's grave in disarray without stopping to cut back overgrowth and clean the stone if necessary," said Ms. Rosenblatt. "I believe we owe it to the brave soldiers who have given their lives for the freedom of our country." On this day, she is working in Cedar Creek Cemetery near Sanderson at. the gravesite of Robinson G. Dugger, a Confederate soldier who lost his life in the Battle of Olustee. She developed a special affinity for the soldier after studying details of his life during her research. According to historical accounts, Robinson Dugger was buried in a shallow grave on the battlefield. His widow, searching for a clue to his whereabouts, recognized the ring on his hand protruding from his grave. She brought him home, prepared his body and buried him at Cedar Creek Cemetery. Ms. Rosenblatt chose this individual as the 'Soldier of Honor' for the upcoming Battle of Olustee re-enactment scheduled for February. "He was from Baker County and his descendants, many of whom are still in Macclenny, will be honored in Lake City during the pre-battle festivities. I think everyone in Baker County should know who this man was," (See page 2) COVERING BAKER COUNTY SINCE 1929 The county's mostprofessional and extensive source for news, classified, display and real estate listings www.bakercountypress.com ** 904.259.2400 9o 904.259.6502 Fax .. bcpress@nefcom.net 6 9076 48819 E i-a'astStMttGB"*;'. k *'-- ** -* r H'-.'-aa'.aw BWf-^ * Lt 5 .s 0 e e I- n THE BAKER COUNTY PRFSS, Thursday December 14, 2006 Page 2 I it %Nba I o jV I. - --Copyrighted Material - 21 ir fSyndicated Content , Available from'Commercial NewsProviders' W lo 400 N 0 -dog& Ow .- ww - w w i 0 40 .400 w r - Visa Card Best Rates Around...

The matter of liens prompted resolve during the December 11 evening meeting that surcharges of up to ten percent annually be added onto existing judgements for non-compliance. Currently, code official Phil Thomas notes there are 44 such cases dating back to 1996, and the county's land development regulations authorize added charges as an incentive to get the liens paid.

At the moment there are.two dozen boxes sitting in the middle of the dining room floor waiting. What are they waiting for, you might ask? Uh, Christmas. The problem with having two dozen boxes of Christmas decorations is some-. body has to unpack them and put /EY them up. That somebody is usually M yl. my wife Kelley. However, Kelley, head of the THE V high school English department, is knee-deep in research papers and ROBER] semester exams and won't be able to see through the haze of red ink until, well, Christ- mas. On the other hand, I am under orders not to touch them. There's a good reason forthat. Kelley knows exactly where things are supposed to go. I know where nothing is supposed to go. My job is to unpack all the Christmas stuff from storage and then put them back after the holidays. While the decorating process is going on, I am sup- posed to stay out of the way, but be on call in case something has to go on a really high part of the tree or the top of the mantle. I'm also needed to hang garland on the arches between rooms. Hanging garland is very similar to moving furni- ture. No matter how carefully you try to place it, it is never in the right place to suit. "It's not centered," said Kelley. "Okay. Which way do I move it?" "Move it to the left. That's not the left." "It's my left." "I'm talking about moving it to my left. Wait! ... too much. Move it back to the right." "My right?" "No, my right. Perfect. Now tape it up." "Where's the tape?" "I gave it to you." "Here it is. It's in my pocket. I've got it." "You moved it. Move it back to the left." "Your left?" It goes on like this from one door to the next. The garlands wind up being perfect, but I can't tell my left hand from my right. So the best thing for ;II 4) KG ousted trying )ns on the tree me to do is stay out of the way and not decorate anything. SI realized this when I looked at the Christmas tree in the den and all it had on it were lights. Kel ley usually buys two trees: one for the front room which she decorates and one for the den which the kids decorate. That way, she can EO OF have her Martha Stewart tree anc They can have the one they're usec to since they were little. $LTTER I was home alone and watching an old episode of Northern Expo :ERARD sure looking at the tree. I'll jus put an ornament or two on the tree That looks good, I'll put on another. The upshot o0 the story is that I did a little decorating.': D3 lain came home from work at the YMCA and his eye was caught by the tree. "Hey," he said indignantly. "Who decorated the tree?" "Me." His mouth dropped open more indignantly "Man," was all he said. "I didn't put any of your ornaments on it." "Man." A half-hour later, his brother came in. "Hey, who decorated the tree?" Same indignant routine. Later that evening, his sister breezed through on her way home to hei apartment in Jacksonville. "You are kidding me. You decorated the tree without me?" "Uh, not really." "Yes you did. I see how it is." If I ever wondered how the Grinch felt, I now know. Any other decorating will have to wait. The kids have decided they will have to put their deco- rations on the tree before Daddy Grinch does any more. Kelley will.soon be finished with school and will put the house to rights. It will look great, as ii always does when she decorates. As for me. I'll do what I always do on such oc- casions. I'll stay out of the way. The winter robin invasion THEBACK PORCH KELLEY LANNIGAN Birds of a feather flock to- gether, the old saying goes. On a recent morning when the temperatures dipped down toward freezing, I woke to find my back yard filled with rob- ins. Their chirps loudly punc- tuated the air and sounded like a thousand squeaky toys being squeezed over and over. What a racket. Although loud to the point of being distracting - they had in fact woken me up - it was a happy noise and ev- erywhere from the lawn and pa- tio to the tops of the trees, rob- ins flitted, darted, fluttered and chattered. Those that roosted did so for only a couple minutes, puffing their feathers up into a reddish, thermal balloon. I have since read that this keeps a rob- in's body temperature at a con- stant 104 degrees even in sub- zero temperatures. Every few moments, a pair of robins flew by in tandem in a dizzying "loop the loop" for- mation as they playfully chased each other. One pair buzzed the top of my head and I had to duck slightly to keep from col- liding with them. My cats were going nuts watching these aerial acrobatics. I wish I had grapes or raisins to offer. Robins don't eat seed, but can be attracted to feeders if you put out some berries. Fruit and berries are their typical win- ter diet. In spring they go for in- sects and worms. When the weather warms up they are one of the birds heard early in the morning as they scour lawns for their favorite snack of earthworms. They lay up to five eggs and the blue color of the shells has long been celebrated by poets and painters. I painted a room in my house this color once and it was the most restful and calming place to relax and read. Robin's egg blue was officially added as a Crayola crayon color in 1993. Although once eaten for food, it has traditionally been thought unlucky to kill robins or keep them in captivity. The poet Wil- liam Blake wrote: "A robin redbreast in a cage, puts all Heaven in a rage." Lots of legends sprang up about how they received their red color, which is actually more of a burnished orange. One story claims the robin received its red breast from trying to remove the thorns from Christ's head at the Crucifixion. Another portrays the bird's breast being singed from flying water down into hell to relieve the burning sinners. It's also commonly believed that seeing robins chirping on a tree branch is a sign that fair weather is imminent. Sure enough, the day after my robins visited the tempera- ture climbed into the 70s. Come back anytime, my fine feathered friends. Moving om Glen to Utah, and greeted by a driving snowstorm (People are curious as to what hap- pened to Michael Rinker, who recently moved'from Baker County but preferred to do so without any prior fanfare (save for a small party at a Jacksonville res- taurant). His guest column this week should answer the question: "What hap- pened to'Mike?") BY MICHAEL RINKER Aloha from Utah, home of Mormons, mountains and me. In case you don't remember me but really,, who could for- get? I used to work for this newspaper as an editor, writer, photographer and one of the top delivery boys in North Florida. But my wife and I moved to .the Beehive State (so named for the prevalent hairstyle here) to work for an animal sanctuary called Best Friends. As senior editor for Best Friends magazine, I'm still in journalism, but I have to tell you that working for a non-profit organization that rescues dogs, cats, horses, birds and bunnies is e a whole other, uh, animal. Before I get to that, though, s there's this. After 14 years and one month living in Florida, we arrived in e Utah amid a driving snowstorm. And when I say drivingg." .I mean me with a death grip on the steering wheel of a 31-foot RV, trying to keep it on a snow-cov- ered road with 35 mile per hour crosswinds and near-zero visibil- t ity. But the real challenge was coming up behind some goober f puttering along at 60 mph and trying to pass him on the two-' lane, winding, climbing, dipping highway. ("Hey Zeke! The gas pedal's the one on the right!") And speaking of cold, did you know that human excrement freezes? The day after we arrived, the temperature dropped to 12 de- grees and we woke up to a frozen water line and sewer hose (RV, remember?). As we tried to thaw s them out, my wife was shaking r the hose when it snapped (fro- zen plastic is brittle, honey), and guess what came tumbling out. That's right, Poopsickles! A couple of days later, after paying five bucks each to shower V at the local gym- our water heat- er wasn't working we headed into our first day at work. Be- cause I was hired after a series of phone interviews, it was the first t time I would meet the founder/ president of Best Friends, the chief executive officer, the direc- tor of marketing and the editorial director. As soon as I stepped into the CEO's office, his dog Cinnamon targeted my crotch like a guided muzzle. I tried nonchalantly to extricate his nose (the dog's, not the CEO's) from between my legs while maintaining eye contact and making small talk with my new boss, who seemed oblivious. After five minutes of hand-to- nose combat, it was time for the Friday\ editorial meeting in the president's office. Cinnamon fol- lowed us in and lay on the floor next to my chair. He later got up, went to the door and scratched at it until a secretary in an adjacent office got up and let him out. My next meeting was Mon- day in the marketing director's office with media and communi- ty relations staffers. And his two dogs. One had a bone he would take to each of us, expecting the recipient to throw it across the office. He'd retrieve it, gnaw on it a little and take it to the next person. I tried to make it more interesting by hiding the bone when he brought it to me. So I slid it under my leg one time; up my sleeve another, then looked at the dog and held my hands up like, "Where'd it go?" But he knew. He stared at me like I was a moron, so I tossed it across the office where it hit a desk.and ricocheted into someone's ankle. Maybe I am a moron. Mean while, the other ,dog scratched, at the door, but the marketing director didn't have a secretary to let him out. So the little guy (the dog, not4the mar- keting director) walked back to where everyone was sitting and took a whiz on the floor. You can't blame the dog. He made at least a token effort to let us know, plus he's 17 years. old. I don't know about you, but when I was that age I often relieved myself in inappropriate places. Now I'm looking forward to having a meeting in my wife's office, where one of the dogs scoots around the place using just his front legs because his back ones don't work. And he wears a diaper, which pretty much means he won't pee on the floor. I wish I could say the same for me. Aloha from Utah. Chef was a shamc Dear Editor: There are some thieves who might not be thirsty after stealing the Pepsi machine from the front of the Taylor voting house and fire sta- tion. Sometime the night of December 5 or early the next morning it ap- pears someone backed up a small pickup to the porch and pushed the fully-stocked drink machine into the back and took off with it. The machine and another one have been maintained by the volun- teer firefighters at Station 40 the past ten years for the convenience of citizens of Taylor. Profits from the machines help purchase Christmas toys and food baskets for the needy in the area, and also are used to purchase equipment for the fire station. It is a shame that some people take advantage of the hard-working volunteers who give their time and service to the community. If anyone saw anything or has information regarding this incident, please contact the sheriff's department. Nancy Oliver Taylor Volunteer Fire Dept.

Middle, heavy classes put Wildcats over Bradford Co. The Wildcat wrestling team got a stiff -test from rival Brad- ford County, but managed to come out on top 40-34 Monday night at the BCHS gym. Brad- ford controlled many of the light weight classes, but the middle and heavier weights belonged to the Wildcats. The Cats opened strong with Timmy Mason and Brittany Dale winning on forfeit in the 103 and 112 classifications. From then on the Wildcats struggled. losing the next five weight classes to the Tornadoes. Brandon Lucas got the Wildcats back on track with a 4-0 win over Mark Wininger. Joshua Trippett kept it going, pinning Shawn Boyette at 1:53 of the first period. Josh Hodges had a tough match against Alan Lin. The match went back and forth before Hodges turned Lin for apin in 5:26 of the third peri- od. David Corona had the quick- est pin of the night, with a stop in 1:17 of the first period. Blake Yarbrough finished the scoring, forBCHS with a pin. Boys lose to Suwannee, beat Hilliard Saturday Thorne Crowley had a big week for the Wildcat varsity bas- ketball team as it split games. The guard scored 15 against Su- wannee County and 16 versus the Hilliard Flashes to lead the scoring for BCHS. The Wildcats traveled to Su- wannee hoping to rebound from a tough loss to Lake City Co- lumbia last week, and though they fell 50-45 to the Bulldogs, it put them back on track to defeat Hilliard on Saturday. Baker High led most of the way at Live Oak, but a last-min- utesurge by the Bulldogs in the fourth quarter gave the hosts the victory and sent the Cats off for a quiet bus trip home. Three-point shots from Kyle Kennedy and Nate Strachan got BCHS off.to a good start. The game started at a relatively slow pace and the wildcats built to their lead with baskets from all five starters. BCHS was up 13-8 at .the end of the period. Suwannee woke up in the sec- ond and a pair of three pointers helped it match the Wildcats bas- ket for basket. BCHS led 25-20 at the interval. Suwannee came out deter- mined and slowly chipped away at the Wildcat lead in the third period. Only Crowley and Joe Reed found the basket that quar- ter as Suwannee trimmed the BCHS edge to one point at the buzzer. In the fourth period they took the lead and built on it. Strachan dumped in a pair and Ike Park- er contributed all seven of his points in the period to keep the Cats close. But in the end, Su- wannee was determined not to lose at home. Crowley had 15 and Strachan 11 points. Parker added 7 and Ja- mal Lee 5 points. The Cats reversed the five- point loss to Suwannee with a five-point win over Hilliard on Saturday in the BCHS gym. It was a back and forth game, with first Hilliard and then BCHS tak- ing the lead and losing it. The lead changed places a number of times during the game and both teams pla. ed well enough to win. Hilliard got three 3-pointers from Nathan Carter in the first period to go up by a 15-14 edge. The Cats stormed back with all of their starters contributing to go up 29-23 at the half. But with shades of the Suwan- nee game, Hilliard chipped away at the lead and narrowed it to two points at the end of the third pe- riod. The Wildcats had seen what had happened on Thursday night and went basket-for-basket with Hilliard. Hilliard fouled inf hopes the Cats would miss from the free throw stripe, but BCHS nailed seven of nine free throw shots to secure the win. ). Crowley led the way with 16 points. Strachan had 11 points and Ike Parker 9 points and 9 re- bounds. Kyle Kennedy also had 9 points, all of which came on three pointers. Tyler Thomas had 6 points and 8 rebounds. Blake Rowan and Joe Reed added a basket. The Cats will travel to Ala- chua County for a key matchup with the Santa Fe Red Raiders on Dec. 16 and then return home for the Florida First Coast Classic after Christmas. THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS, Thursday December 14, 2006 Page 9 Girls sweep three games, beat Tigers andBroncos The Lady Wildcat basketball team had an excellent week, win- ning three out of three games. The girls are one game over the .500 mark and host Yulee at home this Thursday. The week started in a slightly. bizarre fashion. The afternoon of December 5, the team boarded the bus for an away match at Union County. But the Tiger coach misread his schedule and also boarded a bus for what he thought was an away match at the BCHS gym. The buses must have passed each other on SR 121 in the opposite direction. An angry Tiger coach got a hit with, a forfeit, but will undoubtedly look more closely at his schedule in the future. On Thursday, the Lady Cats hosted Suwannee County, and a 63-32 trouncing on a cold night, made the Bulldogs wish they'd have' stayed at home. Brittany Hinson tossed in 18 points as the Wildcats led all the way through. The Cats opened up on fire, running up and do% n the. court and scoring at \ ill. The3 held a 20-5 edge at the first period buzz- er and the game was decided for all intents and purposes. By half- time the\ were up 39-14. The Cats took their foot off the pedal in the second half but con- tinued to keep up the defensive pressure. Caitlin Griffis pulled down 14 rebounds and Deanna McKenzie 13 as the Cats con- trolled the defensive and offen- sive boards. They outscored the Lady Dogs 11-5 in the third, and while the teams plaN ed even\ in the fourth period, the Lady Dogs had effectively been put away early in the second period. Hinson led the Cats followed by Brittany Ruise with 15 points,, Destiny de la Pena with 10, McKenzie with 7 ariand Michelle Lopez with 5. On Saturday, the Lady Cats hosted Middleburg and pounded the Lady Broncos 53-29. Destiny, de laPena and Brittany Ruise led the way foi BCHS ith' 14 and Help Wanted: Dental Assistant 5 Yr.

The Cats came out running and gunning and though Middle- burg kept it close, led by four at the end of the first period. They continued to build their lead through a balanced offense and a defense that forced numerous Bronco turnovers. Caitlin Griffis and Deanna McKenzie had 22 rounds be- tween them and the Broncos were only getting one shot on their possessions. The Cats had a two digit lead at 27-17 at the: interval. They built on the lead throughout the second half. The third period could not have gone better for BCHS. The Lady Cats skunked Nliddleburg 12-0 in the period and then held them off to win the game. Michelle Lopez and McKen- zie added 7 points and Griffis 6 in the win. The Lady Cats are 6-5 on the season and 3-3 in district play. CGowley named man ofthe match, Thome Croley was high scorer in t"wo of the Wildcat basketball teams last week and named this week's Man of the M latch. Crow le), w' ho transferred in this ear, has been instrumen- tal in the team's success. He scored 15 points against Suwannee County on Thursday in a losing effort and then turned around to score 16 points in the victory over Hilliard on Satur- day. Crowley is a quick guard who is a strong ball-handler and a versatile scorer. He can) drive the paint and score on layups and also hit the outside shot. He is one of Charles Ruise's top threats in the three point game. He is also an active defender whose quick hands produce a lot of steals. He's been one of the bright spots of the team this year, so keep an"eye on"-him'. .1 t'da.ifng T.,",,,i'a ..'-.i, I. / i f a t\ / ,,,n B,.'bb\ 6' d'uen Ex-player, manager at Bowden induction When Florida State's leg- endary coach Bobby Bow den was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame at a New York City gala on December 5, Tommy Johns of 1MIacclenn\ was in the audience a special guest along with several other mem- bers of the football team at South Georgia Junior College during the 1950s. Mr. Johns played briefly at South Georgia in 1956 where he also ran track, and the following two years was the football team manager. It was one, of Coach Bowden's first coaching posi- tions in a career that has lasted more than a half-century. Coach Bowden, 77, said last week he has no immediate retire- ment plans and joked during his acceptance speech about calls for it, insisting his goal is a national championship. The other high-profile honor- ee that evening at the famed Wal- dorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan was Joe Paterno of Penn State, whose induction was postponed because he suffered a broken leg in a sideline mishap earlier this season. "All I can say is what a great honor it was to be included in something like this," said Mr. Johns, whose friendship with Coach Bowden has survived over the N ears. Also in attendance was a foirner Macclenn\ resident \vho also played tor South Georgia, Vernon (Pee-Wee) Brinson, who has prospered in the car business and now lives in New Orleans Other members of the Douglas team that won two state champi- onships and a co-championship during Coach Bowden's tenure were also there for the weekend., The team, including its coach, gets together e\er\ June for a re- union in Douglas,i, .... i THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS, Thursday December 14, 2006 Page 10 THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Land sales recorded November 16-30 The following land trans- actions were recorded in the Baker County courthouse dur- ing November 16-30.

They are self-governing entities in a defined geographic area less than 1000 acres that fund infrastructure via bonds re- paid by homeowners. Mr. Pres- ton described them as "private mini-municipalities." DRI development orders: Similar to the one sought by Adrian for Cedar Creek on 3000 acres, Mr. Preston suggested as many as nine of these large-scale developments may be proposed the next 50 years. They would encompass virtually all the devel- opable acreage in Baker County that isn't wetlands or govern- ment-owned like the Osceola National Forest. Growth strategy : the officials stressed repeatedlN that Baker County has to decide relativelN soon what it will allow, how it's going to be funded, maintained and where it's going to be. By fine-tuning the so-called devel- opment orders. the county has control over what kind of hous- ing is built and what markets it will attract. Smaller, non-sus- taining projects that have been the rule here the past 30 years should be discouraged because they contribute little or nothing to the overall infrastructure.
